[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, have you been to the AAP tour night that LA holds for families like yours, who are making a choice about AAP center or no center? They usually host a night where parents hear a presentation about AAP and get a tour, while their kids get a separate tour led by LA sixth graders. That night really cemented my kid's desire to change schools (full disclosure, we were coming from another ES, not Flint Hill). I hope you haven't missed that event -- not sure at what point in the spring it was held, back when we did it a couple of years ago.

If you have not had a chance to go tour the school in person, with your child, and talk with teachers, do it. If you choose to stay at FH, you will know that you did due diligence and got all the information available to you as you made your choice.

It's worth asking at both schools how the LL IV or the center models are different from general ed (ask for specific examples of the work done -- everyone has the same curriculum, but ask how the LL IV and center classes handle that curriculum differently from how it might be presented in general ed at either school, and how expectations for students' homework and projects and papers etc. are different from general ed for the same material).

Whether you stay at FH or go to LA, your kid will be in a good school.[/quote]

We are planning on attending the AAP Orientation - I assume this is what you mean by AAP tour, for both schools. They are scheduled for next week.

Thanks for the pointers on what to ask. I am much better informed now on what to look for.[/quote]
